OCC Basketball coach suspended for what?

[4evaOrange]

Need some answers, because I worked for him I videotaped some games and worked aau events at OCC and he was nothing but class.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I've known Dave for 25 + years and he's a great guy. I know how much he enjoyed coaching at OCC. I hope things work out for him.

That article couldn't be more vague

Fire a 15 years guy in midseason at Christmastime for unspecified "misconduct". Nice.

"retrench": a cutting down or off, as by the reduction of expenses. (Dictionary.com)

It's more like they dug a trench and threw him in it.

Not sure we can commence with the 'Nice' comments until (and if) we know the whole story. Unless you know more than the story states (which is next to nothing). May be warranted, maybe not. Who knows? :noidea:

It's hard to think of a unwarranted way for them to fire him over during Christmas. Hell of a time to get canned.

I didn't say "unjustified". For whatever reason, they weren't nice about this.

A Christmas Eve news dump does not give off a good aroma.

Bet it was timed so they could stop paying him at the end of the 1st semester. Tough timing for his family before the holidays. I think the article mentioned he was teaching at OCC besides his coaching job - wonder if he loses that also.

So what exactly did he do?

So what exactly did he do?

Knowing college atmospheres in today's age, he probably violated someone's "safe space".

 

[ssbriefcase]

Don't know anything about the situation or the coach Pasiak. I just wanted to say, coach Davis who is taking over is a great man and was a great mentor for me back in the day when I was a knuckle headed teen. Get'em coach Davis!

I'm REALLY hoping it's not related to someone being "offended". I just can't take it anymore.

OCC removes men's basketball coach

I have worked with Dave off and on at OCC for past several years, he has been a total class act. Good luck Dave, you will do well in the future. Class act!!

Sounds like you're offended by all the offense people are taking.

Two African-American players were cut and then claimed the coach was.racist. not sure how the administration came to their conclusions.

 

[skurey]

Maybe he was racist

Fire all the other coaches for not having enough whites, asians, indians, hispanics, eskimos, american indians, arabs, persians and pygmies.

 

[4evaOrange]

This is ridiculous.

 

[Jeremy L.]

What a joke.
